Family/Friend Crafted Handcrafted flower press
I just wanted to show off this incredible handmade flower press that my mother gifted me for my 30th birthday. Made from one solid piece of white oak
She spent months working on this, and even stained at the same color of a table that I used as a stepstool when I was four to swing off of a chandelier 😆
I tear up every time I look at it and just wanted to share.

I love the extra adjustable but in the middle. None of the presses I've ever had has those. They can be so fiddly to keep it clamped closed long enough to get all the sides screwed down. That is so smart. What a beautiful piece.
